Looks like another scam/stolen scan brewing. This time it's a 52 mantle Psa 7

Item # 281871977620

I contacted him and asked him for a history of the card and for some hobby references. In his first response he only gave me his cell number and didn't address my questions. When I asked a 2nd time, here's his response:


"I bought it in 2010 from PSA auctions. for $34100. I request a deposit as a gift to my paypal for $5000 and i will ship the card to you to check it. After you are sure its authentic, you can send me the rest of the money still as a gift so i won't be forced to pay feeds."......


Beware!

    Thanks for the heads up. That is a nice PSA 7. If it was a legit auction I would be curious to see where it would go.


    Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona.

    I was just notified it was taken down...too many of these are popping up and unless it's from a reputable seller, major red flags go up.

    A Paypal gift payment of $5000, has that seller lost his frickin' mind!? image



    And it's the SELLER'S job/responsibility to ensure it's the real deal, right?

    What about a third party out of state temporary check?

    Sounds like a standup trusting guy though. You send him $5000 as a deposit and then he sends you the card. He doesn't know you from Adam but will send you a $100,000 or more card (200?) for your own inspection. Then trusts a stranger to just send it back if you don't like it. Amazing.



    Oh guys, first come first serve. First one to send me 5k and Ill ship you my brand new Ferrari. With a blank title. Just ship it back when you have time. And please don't just keep it or say that it wasn't in the delivery box.
